			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People enjoy playing games and psychic games are no exception. All the psychic arts are not always taken too seriously and can be played as psychic games. Psychic games are good for parties and in formal get togethers, as well. And who knows? If you play psychic games, you just might discover a real psychic or two in your midst. There are many psychic games you can play. If you want to keep it really simple, you can play telepathy.</p>
<p>This one of the psychic games is played by one person thinking of a number, a color, an object or another person and then attempting to send it to the other person telepathically. The second person in this psychic game does his best to receive and or read the other person&#8217;s mind. this one of the psychic games requires no special equipment, but can yield some startling results.</p>
<p>If you are more into predicting the future with psychic games, you can try any number of psychic games. One of these psychic games is the mystic eye party game. In these types of psychic games, you take any small weighted object and hang it from a string, ribbon or cord to create a hand held pendulum. In this one of the psychic games, one person holds the pendulum suspended over their other open palm. Then someone asks a yes or no question and the person with the pendulum repeats the question and the pendulum will swing in either clockwise or counter-clockwise circles or back and forth in either side to side motion, north-south, east-west. Before the questions are asked, a couple of test questions are asked to determine which way the pendulum swings indicates yes and which way indicates a no answer. This one of the psychic games is lots of fun as long as nobody takes it too seriously.</p>
<p>All of these psychic games are meant for entertainment purposes only and no guarantee of actual psychic phenomena is made or implied. (sorry, I just had to get that disclaimer in. You know how they are in the legal department.) Well, anyway these psychic games can be a lot of fun.</p>
<p>Other psychic games that are fun and entertaining are ones that just require regular playing cards and someone flips them over one at a time while another person tries to psychically predict whether it will be black or white. And there are ways to play this same type of psychic game with home made cards bearing shapes or designs such as square, star, circle, cross triangle or waves. Again one person can choose and hold a card and the other person tries to psychically figure out which one it is.</p>
<p>There is also a very well known classic psychic game called the Ouija Board. The board has letters, numbers and the words yes, no and maybe. there is also a small divining tool with a pointed end and several small slippery feet that is used. Every player places two fingers on the pointer and then someone asks a question and then whatever spirit presence is nearby will use its energy to guide the pointer to spell the answer by moving it from letter to letter. Psychic games of this type can lead to some pretty spooky vibrations so be prepared. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Baseball games. There is truly something special about baseball games. Just being in the ballpark during baseball games crates all sorts of emotions and feelings. Baseball games are where lasting memories are made. The bond between many a father and son was permanently cemented by going to baseball games together. Back when baseball truly was the national pastime, going to baseball games really meant something. All the people streaming in from all over to attend the baseball games were a sight to see. Old men going to baseball games. Business executives going to baseball games. Fathers and sons going to baseball games. Plumbers, electricians, workingmen of all sorts going to baseball games.</p>
<p>At the baseball games, there were all sorts of things going on. People eating hot dogs at the baseball games. People drinking beer at the baseball games. People eating peanuts, popcorn and Cracker Jacks. Venders throwing bags from six rows away, all part of the atmosphere of the baseball games. People sitting in the bleachers way out in  left field in the sun at baseball games. People watch the baseball games from their luxury suites. Kids waving pennants and cheering on their team at baseball games. all of this and more was going on at baseball games. People have gotten engaged at baseball games. People have gotten married at baseball games. People have died at baseball games. Babies have been born at baseball games.</p>
<p>almost all human activity has happened at baseball games. And probably almost every human emotion has bee felt at baseball games. People have cried in despair and disappointment at baseball games. People have cheered and shouted with joy at baseball games. People have felt bored at baseball games and people have felt that pulse quickening excitement at baseball games.</p>
<p>There are a lot of different baseball games you can attend. If you live near a big city, you can probably attend professional baseball games. These big league baseball games are expensive, but fun and can be very exciting. If you live near a medium sized city, there is probably a minor league team or two playing baseball games near you. These baseball games are a little more affordable to attend than the major league baseball games, but are still lots of fun and full of great baseball action. almost every community has various amateur baseball teams playing all season long. Just look around your area and you will find baseball games going on all over the place. All of these baseball games are fun to watch. And who knows? At these baseball games, you might be watching the baseball stars of the tomorrow palying today.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>People love games. People play games all the time. they play games with each other. They play games alone. They go and watch other people play games. They watch people playing games on TV. they listen to games on the radio. They play games on their computers and they play games against others over the internet. People sure love games. There are many, many types of games. There are sports games. There are board games. There are children&#8217;s games. There are card games. There are computer games. There are educational games. There are war games. There are fantasy games. And there are math games. Some of these games are meant to be played outdoors. Some of these games can be played both outdoors and indoors.</p>
<p>There are many types of games to play and many ways to play them. some games are meant to be played while some games are also meant to be watched. And some games you can do both&#8230;watch and play, but usually at different times. Some games require teams of people. Some games require just one player. Some games require expensive equipment. Some games require no equipment. Some games require large expensive playing areas and some games can be played on a sidewalk or the front porch or on the beach. Some games are fun to watch and some are boring to watch, but that is a all very subjective.</p>
<p>Some games are usually played during certain seasons of the year and some can be played all the time, depending on your climate and some games are appropriate for certain situations and not so for others. For instance you might not want to play beach volleyball on Cape Cod in January, but you sure could play it in Barbados at that time. You probably wouldn&#8217;t be playing Pin the Tail on the Donkey at an adult Halloween party, but you sure could be playing Texas Hold-em on Poker night. It wouldn&#8217;t be likely to find a football game going on at a Tibetan monastery, but it would be common occurrence at a boy&#8217;s boarding school.</p>
<p>Games can be a great stress reliever. Many games are very educational. Games can teach a child how to cooperate with others. Games can also teach a child to be competitive which can be either a positive or negative thing. Games can make learning fun. People play games with their babies and young children to teach them things. These games can help a child develop both physically and mentally. sometimes children enjoy the games so much that they don&#8217;t even realize that they are being taught something. Games can make learning easier as well as fun. Games can help children develop skills and critical thinking abilities.</p>
<p>There are many types of games and many ways to play them Some people have a lot of fun playing games and some people don&#8217;t. Games can teach you a lot and games can be just for fun. And sometimes games can make you a ton of money. So there are all kinds of reasons to play games. And most of us play games throughout our entire lives so there must be something good about games&#8230;</p>

The more serious classroom games we played all had some element of learning involved in them. These classroom games included spelling contests and math competitions. This lassroom games could be very educational because even if you didn&#8217;t know the answers, you got to hear the answers to the questions and so you learned. Classroom games were fun and exciting so they made learning less of a chore.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There was a time when if you wanted to play video games, you had to go to the arcade. Arcade games were your only option. Not that arcade games were bad. Heck, they were the best around. You could only find video games at the arcade. Nobody had a personal computer or a video game player. So it was arcade games all the way. Arcade games were state of the art. Though arcades and arcade games had their downsides too. But you just put up with it so you could play those arcade games.</p>
<p>You put up with the inconveniences of arcade games. That is until computer and video game players invaded the home. After that, all bets were off. But before that, arcade games were worth putting up with the sleazy arcade operators and the pucks who all hung around. Arcade games were worth putting up with a lot. And you did. But at least there were arcade games. There was a time when there were no arcades or arcade games except for the arcades the existed in the popular beach front communities, especially the ones with boardwalks.</p>
<p>There you could play the old fashioned style of arcade games like ski ball, rotating trays of quarters and the toy grabbing machine with the moving claw that you centered over the toy you hoped to win. Or the water squirt gun rcade games that made tin horses move along a track or pumped that you aimed in the clown&#8217;s mouth and a balloon filled up over its head. These old fashioned arcade games were fun and could earn you big prizes as well.</p>
<p>Other than that, you had to be content with the occasional pinball machine. Then the video arcades started to become a common site. Almost every mall had an arcade and in it were all the newest arcade games. People were lining up to pump their quarters into these arcade games. At first there were arcade games like centipede and space invaders, astroids and donkey kong. They were all hot arcade games. We were thrilled by the action of these arcade games. We were spellbound by the graphics of these arcade games. The play was fast and furious on these arcade games.</p>
<p>But the makers of arcade games had some more tricks up their sleeves and just was home video game players were starting to come out and maybe people were getting a little bored with the low tech arcade games, the next generation of arcade games starts to emerge. The graphics on arcade games was getting better. The action was getting more realistic. Arcade games were moving into the realm of personal combat. With these arcade games, all you had to do was have lightening fast reflexes and be able to spend enough quarters to learn all kinds of complicated button pushing, lever pulling pad slapping movement sequences and you could rise up in the ranks of karate fighters and kung fu artists and even get your initials up on the screen of these arcade games.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are ball games and then there are ball games. Yes, there are games you play with balls and there are baseball games you go see and read about and talk about and watch on TV and listen to on the radio. These are ball games. Where I come from, if someone asks you if you saw one of the ball games, you knew right away they were talking about baseball. These were the only ball games people were talking about back then. Of course, there were other ball games, games you played with a ball, but the ball games people were most interested in weren&#8217;t basketball games or football games. Sure, there was interest in these, but the ball games that people were talking about when they asked if you had seen and of the ball games, were baseball games.</p>
<p>It was still the national pastime. I don&#8217;t think anybody much had even heard of soccer, although that is truly a ball game. Of all the ball games, soccer has less equipment and is more about the ball than any of the other ball games. Although as far as ball games go, rugby doesn&#8217;t involve a lot of extraneous equipment, but it is so purely about the ball as soccer is. Rugby is one of those ball games that is also about turf and piles of people like football is.</p>
<p>But soccer is the one out of all the ball games that is about the ball and moving the ball downfield or upfield and passing the ball. No hands. No bats. No fancy equipment. Just ball control. That is what makes soccer so much fun to play and to watch. All of the ball games take skill, but out of all the ball games, soccer seems to take the most individual skill at ball control.</p>
<p>Ball games of all types are fun to play and fun to attend. Going to ball games can be one of the most significant memories a kid brings into adulthood. Going to ball games usually involved an outing with your dad. Real man to man time, although you were only seven or eight or ten or twelve. Going to ball games was an exciting adventure. Going to ball games usually required a trip somewhere, maybe by car, maybe by train or subway to the ball park. Ball games were big events in those days and it was thrilling to go to ball games and get swept up in the crowds and the noise. Ball games had certain sights and smells. Hot dogs and roasted peanuts.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Some people use the term kids games as a negative term to indicate that someone wasn&#8217;t serious enough or skilled enough to be taken seriously. &#8220;Aw, they were just playing kids games.&#8221; they would say about someone to dismiss them. But kids games can be serious and kids games can be serious fun. do you remember playing kids games? Playing kids games at school. And playing kids games in the streets of your neighborhood. And, oh those summer nights when you&#8217;d rush right out after dinner to play kids games until it was too dark to see. And sometimes, beyond. Because sometimes our kids games included flashlight freeze tag. which I guess was an early form of laser tag. just not as high tech.</p>
<p>But in the twilight as the day wound down, our kids games got into high gear. We&#8217;d play the kids games of tag and statues. We&#8217;d play the kids game of ringolario and steal the bacon. We&#8217;d play the kids games of dodge ball and kickball. We&#8217;d play the kids games of running bases and monkey in the middle. We&#8217;d play the kids games of King of the hill and neat falls.</p>
<p>There are a million kids games and we probably played them all at least once. Depending upon how many kids you had around at the time, you would all decide on what kids games to play. And depending on how much space you had, you would choose what kids games to play. There are kids games for every size group. There are kids games  for every playing condition. There are kids games for playing in small spaces. And there are kids games to play when you can range all over the neighborhood. There are kids games you can play when its high noon and kids games you can play when its pitch black night. and there are kids games to play for every condition in between.</p>
<p>There are kids games to play on sunny days and there are kids games to play on rainy days. There are kids games to play in every season. There are kids games for hot, hot summer and kids games for snowy winter fun. There are kids games to play in and around and with all the autumn leaves. And there are kids games to play in the soft spring grass. Kids games can be calm. Kids games can be wild. Kids games can be fast. Kids games can be slow. Kids games can be a lot of things and kids games can sure be fun.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I remember the football games of my youth. The football games that I played in and the football games that I attended. As a young man growing up in a less complicated time, football games were meaningful events. When you played football games, whether they were just neighborhood pick up football games or whether they were football games you played for your high school team, these football games were a test. A test of your character. A test of your will. And a test of your strength. These football games revealed something about you and the other guys playing them. These football games were not just idle pastimes. These football games were a proving ground. These football games were a classroom and these football games were a rite of passage.</p>
<p>In the football games, you could come to know yourself and to expand yourself. These football games gave you a fairly safe place to test your nerve. These football games gave you, if you were lucky, a chance to see if you could live up to the ideal of yourself you churned around in your head. These football games gave you the opportunity to act out the hollywood movie fantasies of heroism that you had been weaned on. In these football games, you were pitted against a known enemy within a defined space. You loved these football games because you knew what was expected and you felt sure you could live up to it.</p>
<p>I also loved to go to football games. Usually a high school game. maybe rarely, a professional football game. But mostly, high school football games. Even though they were just small time amateur football games, these football games were thrilling to attend. These football games had their pageantry and their excitement. These football games fulfilled a physical, as well as an emotional need.</p>
<p>It was great to be out in the autumn air on a sunny Saturday attending one of these football games. The sky was that autumn shade of blue and the flags at the north end of the field snapped in the breeze. You could feel the coming winter chill in the air, but there was also an electric excitement in the air at these football games. And even thought they were just high school football games, there was a sense of importance, a sense of the pride of who you and where you came from. These football games pitted town against town. We were grappling for something important, home town pride when we played these football games.</p>
